Use & Care Guide

14. Certain types of casters on furniture may damage hardwood flooring. Barrel-type caster wheels or
wide, flat glides are best for protecting your hardwood floor. If your furniture does not have the
right type of caster, we recommend that you change them.
15. Replace hard, narrow furniture rollers with wide rubber rollers.
16. Keep the relative humidity in your home between 35% and 55%.
